ParticipantWrought iron door is to a wine room, which is all the rage at the moment. We’re big wine ppl so it appeals to us, but I would imagine in another decade it will be laughed at as the disco ball of the current decade.
So what is with the second screen door? How do you plan to keep that room at the proper temp for a wine room? Strange location for a ‘wine room’..
Agree about the tile – must have been a do-it-yourselfer!
Or cheap Mexican labor by the general contractor. Though I also have to add that I have seen some so-called professionals do the same thing. I guess I have just been spoiled on that by a good Tileman that was able to take a shipment of blue tile whose shade varied from pale blue to deep blue.. and made it work around a black free standing fireplace.

What, the Realtor could not afford a decent point and shoot? Looks like the pictures were taken with a cheap camera phone. Only one image looks focused. What a way to represent your client!
House A, 800k, nice pool and some upgradeshttp://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1003623
House B, 417K, the exact same house on a different street but without the interior pictures, they both are on the golf course. How bad can it be inside?

These houses also show different sq footage, lot size and number of rooms… though from the outside, they look the same.

ParticipantProbably not to the Realtors. It may be limits on their commissions. That being said, some of the parts of that house are just odd. Tiny narrow entrance, door to the patio/backyard is small and not very opening (house does not ‘flow’ well). And what is with that weird wrought iron door in the image at 1 across, 3 down? Strange location, strange to have yet another inner door… Strange mini lamp on the side of the curved stairway, at about the height of a person’s shoulder (image 2 across, 2 down, compare height of railing at same step to height of lamp.)
For the following, see the image 5th across, top row. Person who did the travertine floor was an amateur. When you have tiles of different shades from the same ‘color tile’ group, but different batches, you don’t lay them down together in groups. That creates a splotchy look. You lay tile down by taking one tile from one box, then next tile from a different box and so on. The different shades end up being randomly scattered along the floor instead of grouped. Grouping similarly shaded tiles strengthens the perceived differences in shades.

ParticipantUnfortunately 80k isn’t what in used to be. 80k for a family is close to median in San Diego county. You need 130k to get into the top 20% of the income bracket.
60k = Encanto
80k = Mira Mesa
130k = Bay Ho or OB
140k = UTC
160k = PBWhere the heck are you getting those numbers? Last time I checked, around $60K was median. The RE agent and mortgage broker incomes skewed the median from 2003 to present, so we may be seeing a downward revision in the median for more current data.
http://www.muninetguide.com/states/california/municipality/San_Diego.php
shows $56k using 2000 numbers adjusted for inflation (like we are all keeping up with the Bernanke bubble)http://www.city-data.com/zips/92126.html
Here is 2004 data… which would fit in line with 2000 numbers adjusted for inflation.There are very few places that go over the $100K mark. I don’t think PB is one of them.
